Serial number D80.... makes it April 1980

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1372775199' post='2129779'] With regret i have had to back out of a trade deal for this bass. However, this was purley based on my inability to play bass to the standard required! This is a gorgeous looking instrument and i cant imagine you will find this kind of quality in a bass built by anyone for anything like this price! If it had 5 strings it would be mine, although i do not think the owner would part with it either.... BUMP [/quote] It's a shame matey, I reckon you'd have loved the extra sonic girth to be had from the extra string, a low b is a beautiful thing as is a high c, I just can't do both at once, I may need 2 5 strings once b-g and one e-c, yes I think that's the way forward for me, more basses

[quote name='Beneath It All' timestamp='1372782686' post='2129935'] .............Cheers! I should have asked 'Is this model recommended for E to C, B to G, or either'. [/quote] I figured you knew about set ups n nut alterations n wotnot as you've been playing for longer than I've been alive [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1372788344' post='2130046'] I will check when i am next at home but i would think that the nut will accomodate BEADG without modification, i believe all Wood and Tronics 33 inchers are shipped EADGC unless you request otherwise as Enrico recommends it, however i have seen many a BEADG. Of course, intonation and possible truss rod adjustments would be necessary, but i doubt you would need to touch the nut But as i say, i have a .130 string at home so i shall try it on later this week! and indeed i am from sunny Leamington Spa. [/quote] I ws just looking at this photo of yours showing the headstock and nut and it doesn't look like there's much wriggle room in that slot for a wider string in there...

[quote name='Beneath It All' timestamp='1372777379' post='2129827'] Hi..Is this specifically for E to C stringing? Which far-away Galaxy are you from? [/quote] From the pics it has a brass nut cut specifically for those gauges so could be modified but with quite a bit of faff ...and I believe he's from the Leamington Spa galaxy

someone buy this piece of loveliness! I've never fancied a W&T bass before this one and I can't afford it

any trades? Pair of lovely '80 fretted & '81 fretless Ibanez blazers maybe?

I'll have a couple mel even though my original ones are still unmarked despite frequent use

Nice!

would you be interested in a trade for my pair of Ibanez Blazer basses ('80 fretted and '81 fretless)?

Trade for an ibanez blazer with cash my way?

This might be coming to live with me

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1372586250' post='2127372'] Ah the 6 string, something I have never got the hang off but this is truly gorgeous...pm'd [/quote] Thanks for the kind words matey, pm replied to

there's a lack of dosh around at the mo it seems matey, neither of my f/s threads are going anywhere at the mo either...'tis a bug*er innit!

Trade for a 6'er?
